Ridgeview Ranch Golf Club

What Ridgeview Ranch Golf Club does

Ridgeview Ranch Golf Club is an 18-hole championship golf course located at 2701 Ridgeview Drive in Plano, Texas, serving the Dallas Metroplex. The 7,025-yard layout (from the copper tees) was designed by course architect Jeffrey D. Brauer and features 78-plus bunkers, creek crossings, and limestone outcroppings, with four sets of tee boxes to accommodate a range of skill levels. The facility is managed and operated under Encore Leisure Group, which oversees a regional portfolio of more than 15 golf courses.

The club monetizes the course and its adjacent real estate through six interrelated revenue streams: daily green fees and tee-time bookings (online and walk-up), recurring membership via the Performance Program at $59.95 per month, customized tournament and event hosting (banquet capacity ~80 guests, Ridgeview Grill ~50), on-site food and beverage, golf shop merchandise/apparel sales, and PGA-led instruction (including teaching professional Pat Krebs). The driving range is equipped with Toptracer Range technology — a third-party licensed ball-tracking and shot-analytics system — providing a differentiated practice experience. Two structured programs anchor repeat visitation: the Performance Program monthly subscription and the Ridgeview Ranch Senior Golf Association, a 55+ league with weekly Tuesday shotgun-start tournaments.

The go-to-market model is direct-to-consumer, primarily through the Ridgeview Ranch website (which hosts online tee-time booking), an email newsletter (ECLUB), social media, and cross-promotion from sibling Encore Leisure Group courses. Primary customer segments are individual recreational and serious golfers, tournament organizers (corporate, charity, private groups), committed regular players subscribing to the Performance Program, and senior players participating in RRSGA. As of 2026, the club is mid-execution on the 2026 Greens Project, resurfacing greens on holes 1, 4, 5, 9, 10, and the practice putting green, and has implemented special pricing during the renovation window. Ownership beyond the management relationship with Encore Leisure Group is not disclosed in the source data.

Product overview
